Wayne's Story
After graduation went to work at Southwest Airmotive Co. on Love Field first as a mechanic later moved to production control.
Hung out with three friends from SOC, one weekend we went to Skillern"s in Wynnewood Shopping Center (now a Melrose clothing store) when I checked out and paid I left with a sudden case of infatuation/love for the young lady at the cigarette and magazine counter.
Went home and told my mother i'd met the girl I was going to marry, I headed to my room when I was called back with WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, HOW.
Needless to say I went back again and again! She told me at one point that "it would be cheaper to buy cigarettes by the carton rather than a pack a time (a day).
Finally worked up nerve to ask her out (after my friend since 2nd grade at Clara Oliver and...Expand for more
on ordered me to get out of my Dodge) when she said yes I thought OK what's next oh OK let's go eat, so our first date was at Chubby's in Wynnewood between Toy World and
E.M Kahns and Co.
After our first date we saw each other almost every day, finally took her home to meet the family, first was little brother who was playing pool in the garage and asked her who she was when she said your brother's date he ran into the house got his Christmas wish list and handed it to her WITH HIS FAVORITES CIRCLED (no police did not need to be called).
We were married in April of 1970 and moved to an apartment on Webb Chapel near
Love Field.
We moved to Tulsa so I could go to Spartan School of Aeronautics for FAA and returned to aircraft mechanic training and returned to Dallas in July 1972
